if bitcoin dies, what alt would you go for?

[uneng]

I would wait to see what altcoin would be chose as the main currency among all the crypto currencies. There will be always a main currency while all another will be the altcoins. And who will choose it are the big investors, the guys who keep the bitcoin price moving, probably the chineses.

[philipma1957]

LTC is a cloned code of BTC with a few small tweaks. What will cause BTC death can be applied to LTC just as easily.

politics is the most likely cause of bitcoin fading away. litecoin has the chance of pushing through something that'll open up a huge amount of stuff that's being denied bitcoin.

Why do you believe the same politics cannot happen in LTC? It has the same miner centralization in China. It is, well, a copycat, what else to say. It might do well in the short and mid terms. In the long term it has the same flaws as Bitcoin.

So ltc goes segwit

Btc goes bu


This is a growth influence for ltc. And a growth deterrent for btc.

So a year from now. Ltc is 500 usd a coin btc is still at 1200usd a coin.

Bit fury figures a better ASIC boost .  They do it on the sneak.  Bitmain figures an even better ASIC boost.

They do it on the sneak.

This huge hidden hash causes a lack of confidence  In btc it continues to flatten while ltc grows and passes btc in 2020.

Btc finally goes to segwit too late in 2021. This makes more growth in ltc as it had a head start at segwit.

It is now 2222 with ltc at 1400 usd and btc at 500 usd.

All of above is an exercise of what if.  And while possible I don't think it will happen.

[DoomDumas]

None,

It wont dies, just because asciboost miner are investing tons of money/time to try preserve their advantage..

Bitcoin have the Brand and the Brains !

I stick with it,

After this drama, when we'll be in SegWit mode, mining and Bitcoin in general will just be more fair, and more eficient for all..

Dont panic, be patient..

[codehtcmail]

Monero, it has some features that can make it replace Bitcoin, Litecoin is a very good choice too.

[LTU_btc]

I can't imagine what have to happen that bitcoin would die first of all.
But if that happen, I'm probably would go out of the crypto world. Yes, there are some good altcoins, but I don't see which can be first option for mostly people. Maybe Litecoin, but I'm not a big fan of it.

[free-bit.co.in]

Okayy, let's assume Bitcoin dies..I would put my money into Litecoin or Monero.Monero will have a bright future, that's for sure!

[c0inHnt3r]

First off it would take a massive implosion for bitcoin to die. Miners are already heavily invested and banks have created full out bitcoin divisions. But if the implosion did happen LTC is next up. ETH proposed transition to POS may have unknown side effects.

[Shinpako09]

I'm interested in some alts but if I will only choose one. It would be Ethereum. 2nd choice are Litecoin, Clam, and dash. I dont like dogecoin maybe because of low value.

[sevendust777]

Okay lets assume if bitcoin would die Ill go for Eth and LTC altcoins. Because I beleive these coins will have a good future ahead. Still these will be the choice of others I think because of its pump and dumped in the market. But all of these bitcoin would really be the top on this.

[batang_bitcoin]

No, I don't assume that bitcoin is going to die. And I don't bet for any alt coin if "ever" that is going to happen. Bitcoin will remain the main deal for crypto currency.

Yeah, I'll do the same thing, there's nothing to worry about. The price is up and this type of topic isn't going to help bitcoin to grow. But okay, let's say it will happen, the crypto currency market will be crazy and that's the time for me go out of it.

[Labumi]

I think I would divide my coins between eth and litecoin, maybe a bit of ripple too.
They seem to be the most used ones so far, with high volumes and all. I would still continue day trading on altcoins tough, so I would buy and sell all the coins that looks attractive regardless of bitcoins situation.

Yup, the way you are doing is a good thing to make you get no big loss if indeed bitcoin already in time for dead or expired. Bitcoin is a digital currency that most beneficial compared to some of the existing currency, but the weakness of the bitcoin is on the system and also being one of the users. Bitcoin system now have some problems and it made a complaint against user bitcoin, indeed it's not something fatal thing but if there is no good solution then growth will be slower or bitcoin can be will disappear or die

VC will never die not there are too many people with assets that cannot be converted to fiat without repercussions. BTC has always been the gold standard as it is and has been a blockckain that is large enough to be a safe store of wealth but as that becomes more centralized the foundation is crumbling. It cannot hold it's position forever with the choices the community has been (not) making.

To find the best Alt for to hedge vs BTC just look at stability VS fiat and make sure it has organic growth and not just premine P&D's

And what are you going to do when vitalik hard forks your coins away? ETH has already lost all it's credibility by removing it's immutability. LTC is pretty safe as far as that goes, long periods of stable price, kept updated and a large community and the merge mining helps it as well and spreads the hash. It's being used as P&D right now from inside trading but that will level out soon enough. BTC choice are making LTC more attractive everyday. But I still think XMR is the safest bet with the highest upside.

Ripple is a complete 100% pre-mined centralized shitcoin that is the worst P&D out there just check the charts. There is no stability or safety in XRP.

[ahmedjamal1998]

There is a lot of altcoins (of course) lying around here and there.
But the only one that I really trust and feel that it's a "sleeping-giant" is LTC.

Eth has potential as well but I don't know litecoins just grab my attention much more.

Litecoin is on the stage for a long time and we need to give that coin a credit for surviving so long, I`m among the people who like litecoin and that is my second choice. In this moment litecoin is still affordable for many people, and maybe litecoin can be next coin that will rise like eth and dash raised in past year, that is also one important thing that can make people start buying litecoin, higher demand will lead to price rise. Many things go in favor for litecoin, to not mention that lately there is many threads here about litecoin, some videos on youtube. Litecoin suits my taste much more then eth or dash.

[modsa26]

Ethereum is totally different technology. Monero is a big potenital for future. Dash need to time. it's too early for say something. and we can't ignore LTC. Of course other coins isn't trash but They provide service other tech like Ethereum. for ex. We can't compare with Ripple and BTC or ETH. These are tottaly different technology. So when evaluate it we should consider it. We don't know other geneterations what brings.

[Aureliusy]

I would go for the AG ALTernative.. the physical stuff not paper.

[stomachgrowls]

If Bitcoin would die then there are alternatives like monero or eth but these both coin have difference i think monero would really have thr potential to be used if bitcoin would die.LTC is a good option too but monero would be better.

So ltc goes segwit

Btc goes bu

You are a miner, very active in the mining section. How would you rate your own influence to steer the ship? I'm somewhat missing small miners at a huge mass stating their opinion. Bitcoin turned into something only the big guys are mining nowadays, which sucks.
Main reason why I am into Alts.
